The venue was at g77 Cafe, Indira Nagar, Bengaluru on 30th August. We learned how to pep up our parties at home by getting a hands on experience of preparing easy mocktails and cocktails by watching Mr. Bala at it’s best. There was no entry fee and one has to pay for his or her drink if consuming other than those prepared during the workshop. One get a wonderful chance to attend this much in demand workshop by Mr. Bala, as well as have a sip of the drinks prepared by him and enjoy to the core. Here I have to mention about Anthony Wilson, much loved head mixologist of g77 cafe who enthrall the audience with his bartending skill’s while preparing the mocktails.

Here is the Recipe of Cocktails which Mr. Bala prepared for us in the most lucid manner following which a novice can also learn and try out at his or her home.

Recipe of Pink Pong Mocktail ( By Anthony Wilson)

cranberry Juice 30ml

raspberry, jam 2 bar spoon

fresh pomegranate juice 60 ml

lime juice 15ml

Mix cranberry juice with sugar and honey for 5 minutes on 62’c. Mix with the rest ingredients and shake vigorously. Pour into a glass and garnish with an orange slice.

Dark Dreams Cocktail ( by Anthony Wilson)

It’s a concoction of whisky, Kahlua and coffee mixed with burnt tobacco and applewood.

It’s served on a wooden platter with molecular spheres of the same drink that you have to pick with your fingers and gulp at once.

Some of us were felt pumped up and decided to share the bar with Mr. Bala and recreate the cocktails with minimal help from him.

It was a great learning experience. I am expecting more such types of mocktail and cocktail workshop where one can have immense learning about drink’s. Say Cheers !
